<p>1. a way to see all the messages ever sent as "dots", where columns are topics and rows are time. no message content, just being able to visualize the "waterfall" and jump to any point</p>

<p>(bonus for indicating how much you've seen, where you're pinged, and being able to split off a topic in this view)</p>

<p>2. the same but with one (or more) of the topics expanded (and interactable, but ideally side-by-side, not interleaved)</p>

<p>3. actually tying a topic to its parent, for a hierarchical view (I suspect this is the hardest one)</p>
